You have to have a point where it is 89 to 92.
You look at it, you get the books of a company, you interview the officers of the company, you understand exactly what the product is that the company sells.
You understand what the audience is.
You make projections.
You have low case, base case and upside case projections of what a company can do, what it can sell, what it can develop.
And then you take a multiple of that that is generally industry defined.
So it can be five times revenue, 10 times EBIT, I don't give a what the number is, but you do what is on Wall Street where there are people paid a lot of money to figure out what the value of a company is and then what the choke point would be for their client who's trying to acquire or their client who's trying to sell.

It's not that black and white.
What I'm saying is you knew very well that owners wanted money for players.
And that is how you got the votes.
Exactly.
The fact is the asset was worth more and it was going to be worth more and we should have held it.
That's the bottom line.
